Does it tell you how to use if you want to use this as tomato sauce/paste?

No, Mary. You have to experiment for yourself. Start with less and give it a chance to rehydrate before adding more. I really recommend the Colorado Spice product, instead. Fresher taste. This one doesn't taste 'bad' per se--- and is more economical. Powdered tomato is not a cost effective replacement for canned paste, etc. Just a perfect ingredient in spice rubs and sprinkles, for backpackers, and also handy back-up for juice, sauce or paste in a pinch.

This is a paste type product. If you like spicey go for it however, if you are like me & like a little heat but not break out sweat heat go easy with this. Really good flavor though. When I can't get the zip I want in my salsa or chili I add some of this but usually 1/2 tsp is about all I need to a batch. Hope this helps.

No, the consistency is much like that of tomato paste. You would need to add some liquid to be able to use in a squeeze bottle.

Hi Geoffrey, While I haven't tried it for salsa, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. Depending on what kind of tomatoes you use, you will probably have to cook it down quite a bit to get the salsa to thicken though.

Not unless it's made by Norpro.Besides, if your looking to make salsa with this forget it. We bought one and used it with the The Original" Sauce Master and I ended up breaking the handle to the Sauce Master. Everything I put through it jammed, not worth the trouble just use a chopper and chop your onions, peppers and anything else you decide to add to your salsa.

I personally find this to be on par with Szechuan. so yes, it is an alternative when the paste is used for sauces in many of the Szechuan dishes. such as Szechuan Chicken. but none the less an alternative. nothing is better than Szechuan.

I would say yes. I use home canned whole tomatos for my ketchup. I use three quart jars of tomatos, jus put them in your food processer and give them a few pulses, then follow the recipe on thepacket---we love the texture of seeds in the finished product. Of course the tomatoshave been cored and peeled when canned, but putting fresh tomatos through a strainer should be fine! H.W. in S.D.

I juice my tomatoes with it before milling them for tomato sauce to reduce my boiling time. The juice is clearer than you may be used to but still has good flavor.

I last purchased Muir Glen Organic Tomato Sauce more than 18 months ago. However, I've been a regular customer of Muir Glen Organic Tomato Paste. The only 2 ingredients in each can are: "Organic tomato paste, naturally derived citric acid." Although citric acid is not an antioxidant like ascorbic acid (vitamin C) or lycopene, which is a carotenoid that is more bioavailable in canned tomatoes and boiled tomatoes than in fresh tomatoes, citric acid is a stronger acid than ascorbic acid and citric acid also helps the beneficial, acid-loving bacteria (lactobacilli and bifidobacteria) increase their numbers much better than ascorbic acid.

Please contact the manufacturer. I don't make paste or sauce only. I add this to recipies that call for paste or sauce and adjust to taste.

It is an extract. By no means should it be used as a hot sauce. If you dip the end of a toothpick in this stuff and put it on your food, you will forget all about what you were eating.

I don't use it for that. I sprinkle it on spaghetti like you would use grated parmesan cheese.

I found this in a cookbook and it works very well for me: 6-oz can of tomato paste: 1/4 c. tomato powder, 1/4 c. hot water, 1/4 tsp. salt 8-oz can of tomato sauce: 1/4 c. powder, 1/2 cup hot water, 1/4 tsp. salt 14-16-oz can crushed tomatoes: 1/4 c. powder, 3/4 c. hot water, 1/4-1/2 tsp. salt 8 oz. tomato juice: 2-4 Tbsp powder, just under 1 cup hot water, 1/16-1/8 tsp. salt

I have a recipe to make tomato soup concentrate with the clear jell before canning it. Then again another recipe says to add it when you open the jar to reheat(that ones for chicken pot pie filling though).

I've never tried it but it'd depend on the thickness and consistency of the sauces. The pump needs priming and I can't imaging priming it with apple sauce unless watered down.

Yup, you can definitely use this in pad thai. I've used it in pad thai and you just have to dissolve the paste in some hot water before adding to the dish.
